HTTP ERROR: 503 Reason: Service Unavailable powered by jetty

Question

I am trying to develop a web application using java. I am following broadleaf commerce's tutorials [http://www.broadleafcommerce.com/docs/core/current/getting-started].

At the beginning I am able to run my demo site. But after following the documentation for switching to MySql[http://www.broadleafcommerce.com/docs/core/current/tutorials/getting-started-tutorials/switch-to-mysql-tutorial],I was not able to run the site.

I got the following error in the browser

HTTP ERROR: 503

Problem accessing /. Reason:

Service Unavailable

Powered by Jetty://

Looks like it could not connect to MySQL. Double-check your MySQL connection settings and that the MySQL service is actually started.
